Just out of interest,OP, what is your fall back plan if your commuter flight is cancelled or delayed?
Personally, I couldn't take the stress, but I do know someone who sits at a regional airport with an open ticket on his SBY's! But thats for LH, which make it all a bit more manageable.
Just to add, my outfit merely says you must live 1.5hrs from base, if you choose to live abroad you would have to travel the day before and be in the country for your SBY's.
